Coriander is a relatively common vegetable in our lives and can be planted throughout the year. It is also very easy to grow, making it one of the favorite vegetables for farmers to plant. It is generally recommended to plant coriander in March and April of spring and September of autumn. Next, let's introduce the planting methods of coriander from the aspects of planting time, site selection and preparation, seeding and seedling raising, and field management.
1. Planting Time
Coriander is a vegetable that prefers a warm environment. Although it can be planted throughout the year, it is recommended to plant mainly in March and April of spring and September of autumn because the temperature warms up at this time, which can promote the growth of coriander.
2. Site Selection and Preparation
Coriander has high requirements for the planting location and soil. Therefore, it is recommended to choose soil with high organic matter content, fertility, moisture retention, and good drainage when selecting planting land. The land needs to be deeply turned and cultivated, and a sufficient amount of base fertilizer should be applied to ensure the subsequent growth of coriander.
3. Seeding and Seedling Raising
Seed treatment is required before planting. First, the outer skin of the selected seeds should be rubbed off, then the seeds are soaked in warm water for 24 hours, after which they are taken out and wrapped in a damp cloth. The damp cloth wrapped seeds are placed in an environment of 15-20 degrees Celsius for about 7-10 days to germinate.
After germination, seeding can take place. Before seeding, the prepared land should be watered to keep the soil moist. Then, the seeds are evenly scattered in the field, covered with a layer of fine soil, and finally, a layer of plastic film is placed on top. The plastic film can be removed when the seeds have germinated and grown 3-4 leaves of coriander.
4. Field Management
The newly planted coriander does not need watering. Usually, the first watering is done after the plants are established. The second watering should be about 7-10 days after the first watering, and then watering every 5-7 days is sufficient. If enough base fertilizer is applied, there is no need for topdressing during the growing period of coriander. However, if it is found that the soil lacks nutrients during the maintenance of coriander, it is necessary to topdress with some urea and phosphate fertilizer in a timely manner.
